Frommer's Review

The creative statement of a legendary chef, this restaurant occupies a substantial Savoyard house originally built in 1905 in the quiet hamlet of Montbonnot (7km/4 1/3 miles north of Grenoble). Three peaks of the Chartreuse mountain group surround the hamlet. In a comfortable dining room outfitted in richly textured Savoyard style, famed chef Alain Pic prepares sublime dishes that include carpaccio of tuna with baby vegetables, fresh foie gras of duckling served with liqueur-marinated grapes, beef layered with foie gras in a sauce of Syrah red wine, sea scallops in champagne sauce, and tuna steaks with sesame seeds and red wine.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
